I'm always thoroughly impressed with the demeanor of the students, staff and faculty here. They are always super polite and professional but caring and kind. The buildings and campus are beautiful. Remind me of an Ivy League campus. Their academics are up at the top for Cleveland and center for research on girls are revered as one of the best internationally. They are cutting edge with their programs, second to barely any across the world. If you can find someone to take you on a tour (right inside the front door to the right), do it.

We were so sad when my husband's job transferred him to the Canton area and we had to switch schools.

My son attended Chagrin Falls Daycare and Preschool for the past three years beginning at age four…read more He now attends the after care program and my youngest is now in the preschool program. The program director/owner is wonderful. We reviewed two other programs in the area (Goddard and Kids Club) and this place had the best vibe to us. The owner is very flexible with alternative schedules - which is one of the reasons it is popular with many local teachers. We have a goofy schedule and they have been flexible and understanding. I am not a teacher, but my husband's schedule changes constantly and that is a tough sell for most places to accommodate. The program has a nice balance of structure while still catering to the needs of the individual child. My kids are both very different but have each found their way in this school. I love that they have a busing arrangement with two local schools which makes life so easy for parents once the kids are school aged. There are optional programs which cost extra money (About $10 per class per week) for music, computer class, Spanish, and I think one other. My son has thoroughly enjoyed music and computer. We've capped it at two. We too opt to send lunch for our son. They are careful to store it properly so it stays cold and always stick it back in the fridge when it is done so everything is still fresh at pick up time. My son sometimes runs out of time for lunch, but he is a chatty cathy, so I think it is his issue. My only wish for the program was to give the kids more chances to get outside. We had a rotten winter last year, so I am sure that was part of it. I also "get" that getting a ground of kids into their snow gear takes a while. But, a little more outside time would be ideal.
